because the first one is the only one we need unlike consoles which force you to pay for the new one every few years

Is that right princess?

My first PC was a 386. Your average toaster has more processing grunt these days.

Prior to the HD console generation, we were forced to upgrade our PC every 2 or 3 years to keep up with the curve. I'm onto PC generation #8 in 20 years and its cost me around $20k in hardware during that time.

In the last 5 years I've spent $700 on a launch Fatty and it sees almost daily use. In comparison, I spent $3500 on a PC in 2009, I barely use the thing and it's already obsolete. My $3000 gaming PC laptop purchased in 2007 died within two years.

I have no plans to buy a new PC anytime soon. If anything, I'll wait it out for the Steambox PC :ahem: Console.
